It’s come to that moment, Hayley (Marquita Goings) is going to have to tell Bill (Timon Kyle Durett) something that is going to alter what comes next in a big way. Everything has been leading up to this moment, and it started with Hayley refusing to have an ultrasound earlier. Hayley took a fall at the office, and now Bill wants to be there for her doctor's check-up, but an emergency at Uptown has made changes to these plans. In Friday's end-of-the-week big moments, Hayley shares news with Bill that affects their future. Is the baby lost? Was there even a baby to start with? Either way, Bill Hamilton is going to be rocked with the news.

No matter how random things appear, there is always a plan

We were all shocked at Doug’s (Jason Graham) seemingly knee-jerk reaction to Ted (Keith D. Robinson), quitting his job that he loves. His wife, Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli), was annoyed, and Joey (Jon Lindstrom) was cautious and angry that Doug had threatened his organization. Joey won't just take it on Vanessa's word that she will get Doug under control, and that makes Joey dangerous and Doug in deep water. How is Doug going to stay one step ahead? The man in black is back! In Friday's episode, Doug recruits Randy for a scheme of his own—the two, day-one buddies, team up.

Affairs of the heart

The ongoing situationship between Andre (Sean Freeman), Dani (Karla Mosley), and Ashley (Jen Jacob) is about to get more interesting. Ashley had a heart-to-heart with her mom, Jan (Jerri Tubbs), and was warned against Andre’s Playboy ways, but Ashley doesn't want to turn back time. In Fridays episode, Andre's ready to discuss matters of the heart, while Ashley has a tense talk with Derek. Will Andre choose Dani, someone who is strong, stunning and worldy but emotionally unavailable, or is it the young nurse, Ashley who could be a stable relationship to build on for a future? Ashley and Andre have been teasing fans with this, from the first week the show aired, is now their time?
